Question:

An un-polarized beam of light (intensity I0) is moving in the x -direction. The light passes through three ideal polarizers whose transmission axes are (in order) at angles 0.0°, 45.0°, and 30.0° counterclockwise from the y -axis in the yz -plane.
(a) What is the intensity and polarization of the light that is transmitted by the last polarizer?
(b) If the polarizer in the middle is removed, what is the intensity and polarization of the light transmitted by the last polarizer?
